With a massive mesh front and metal panel design and flexible configuration options, Antec Inc. presents the latest two additions to the Antec P Series: the P20C with glass side panel and the P20CE with solid side panel. Both versions are now available on US Amazon and Newegg. (P20C: MSRP$119.99 USD, P20CE: MSRP$114.99 USD).

The P20C / P20CE allows limitless possibilities for building a show case. The new case is ready to provide users with a more flexible layout as it features seven reusable PCI-E slots for vertical GPU installation. By supporting dual CPU motherboards with a width of up to 330 mm, the P20C / P20CE is the evolution of compatibility. It adopts a unique metal design, providing a massive airflow. With the full-size dust filter, the case reaches the balance between cooling and easy maintenance. The pin-type metal front panel is effortlessly removable, and the clip-on dust filters make the cleaning process a walk in the park.



The P20C / P20CE measures 483 x 220 x 490 mm (DxWxH) and is compatible with e-ATX, ATX, micro-ATX and ITX motherboards. In terms of fan support, the case accommodates three 120 mm / three 140 mm in the front, three 120 mm fans / two 140 mm fans on top as well as one 120 mm fan in the rear and two fans on the PSU shroud. Three 120 mm PWM fans in the front are already included in this neat gaming case. The included 1-to-4 fan splitter cable makes cable management easy. The built-in Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 port provides transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. For extra water-cooling, the P20C / P20CE accommodates a 360 mm radiator in the front and on top and a 120 mm radiator in the rear. The case boasts two convertible tool-less 3.5" HDD drive cages (convertible to 2x 2,5" SSDs), two 2.5" SSD mounting spaces as well as seven expansion slots.

Moreover, the chassis has plenty of space for graphics cards with a length of up to 375 mm and effective ventilation, making it particularly suitable for gamers as well. The mid-tower supports high-end air coolers with a maximum CPU Cooler Height of 170 mm and power supplies with a length of 205 mm. Well-designed cable routing makes wiring easy and simple. The cable channels with a cutout on top for stable routing. A removable GPU Holder allows for the GPU to be adjusted up, down, left, and right. The I / O panel features Power and LED control button, two USB 3.0, one Type C 3.2 and Mic and HD Audio jacks. With 23 mm clearance in the rear and a grove on the top as well as eight included rubber grommets, the P20C / P20CE offers sufficient options for cable management, allowing for a clean build and optimized airflow. Three Antec logo cable ties round up this great chassis.

Nice case, unfortunately doesn't has Vertical Video Card installation without disabling your PCIe ports, and also I don't like the buttons and USB connectors at the top of the case.

I take your point about the location of the USB connectors but there is a USB C connector as standard. The 3 supplied front 120mm fans are at least PWM - can't see the specs for them anywhere but they could be decent. And Antec has made an effort with the cable splitter for them...

You know a manufacturer is full of crap when they advertise "E-ATX" which is not, and has never been, a thing.

*sigh* don't you ever get tired of literally copy-pasting the same damn reply to every case release article?

Nope, not as long as everybody & their brother keeps regurgitating moar & moar & moar of the same ole same same boring AF crap cases & making it sound like they did something wonderful & great by calling them "NEW"...

Yea I know, I probably need to find a new hobby, but raggin on case makers is just sooooo much fun (for me anyway), hehehe :)

So do you wanna discuss the merits, or rather the lack of, of this slapped together p/o/s (which basically describes ~99.982% of everything Antwec makes), or just continue bashing on me for my admittedly outspoken opinions ?

Oh and FYI, I don't really give a crap what people think/feel about my opinions, but if it makes ya feel better to vent now & then, by all means, go for it :)

It’d be more interesting if you were consistent, or if there weren’t dozens of cases on the market that meet your non “same old same old” standards, or if anyone (besides you) actually wanted the abominations you describe.

Like, why on earth would case labs make a pyramid design? So they can have a bunch of unsold $800 cases sitting on their shelves?

Looking at the MSRP and the fact peeps are going to want to add a 120mm rear exhaust fan for another $10 means it's not going to be able to compete with the Lian Li Lancool 216. With that said I like the looks of that case. Simple design and no RGB.

As soon as I noticed the atrocious spelling, in the original and their answer, I immediately filed their responses in file-22. If you can't be bothered to use something resembling proper english, considering almost every app and browser has spell check, this is someone just being ignorant.
